Chapter 140 The Royal Concubine's Revenge
Thinking of this, Song Qingyan turned and looked at Mei Ying again: "Did you bring all the medicine?"
Mei Ying shook her head: "Don't worry, young lady. I only took a small amount. She still has a lot in the palace."
Song Qingyan nodded, thought for a moment, and looked at Mei Ying again: "Go check whether His Majesty's headache is related to her."
After that, he warned, "Be careful not to be discovered by His Majesty."
Meiying and Juying received the order and turned away.
Qiong Hua felt a little uneasy for a moment, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Fortunately, the Royal Concubine did not forget about herself: "Today's matter..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Qiong Hua was a very sensible person. Since the Royal Concubine trusted him, he would never let her worry. "I'm just here to check Your Majesty's pulse today."
After saying this, he bowed, said goodbye and left.
"You really can't judge a person by his appearance." Jin Xin couldn't help but mutter, "The queen looks so kind, her mother is so polite, and she doesn't look like a greedy person, but the queen has done this."
"If His Majesty knew, he would be furious." Jin Xin bent down and looked at Song Qingyan, "Why don't you tell His Majesty about this?"
Song Qingyan shook her head: "We have no evidence, not to mention that she has just been crowned queen. If this matter is exposed at this time, wouldn't it be detrimental to the stability of the former dynasty?"
Lu Xingwan, however, became dissatisfied.
[Mother is just overthinking. If it were me, I would just make a fuss about it and bring it to the attention of Father and the Queen Mother to see if they would protect Shen Ning.]
[How dare you poison this fairy? But Shen Ning is really a character. She actually took advantage of Lu Xinghui's dissatisfaction with me and let her do it.]
[But my mother is not a pushover. You did it so covertly, but she still found out.]
Song Qingyan spoke again, seemingly explaining to Jinxin, but actually explaining to Lu Xingwan: "For the sake of the crown prince, I cannot reveal this matter. Your Majesty will find out."
"But I will make her pay for poisoning Wanwan." There was a ruthlessness in his tone that Lu Xingwan had never seen before.
Lu Xingwan couldn't help but cheer.
[My mother is so amazing! She is indeed worthy of being my mother. I must teach her a lesson and let her know how amazing our Qingyun Palace is.]
[Then for the sake of my brother the Crown Prince, let her be the Queen for a few days. After all, with her doing things, Mother will be more relaxed. Otherwise, Mother will have to do all the miscellaneous things again.]
【I still prefer the present day. 】
Song Qingyan very much agreed with Wanwan's idea. It would be better to let her be the queen. She could give her more responsibilities in the future.
"Jinxin," Song Qingyan has always been a person who will avenge her enemies. Since she can't do it openly, she can always do something secretly. "Go and find Meiying back."
Mei Ying, who had just left, hurried back. Song Qingyan whispered a few words in her ear and then told her to leave.
He completely ignored Lu Xingwan's roar of "I want to listen too, I want to listen too."
Good evening, you will know it at dinner time.
In Longsheng Palace, after King Yixuan and his wife left, Shen Ning stood up and said, "It's been a while since I pressed your acupoints. How have you been these days?"
The Great Chu Emperor was in a good mood today. He just smiled and said, "I haven't had a headache in recent days, thanks to your care these days."
As he spoke, Shen Ning had already walked behind the Great Chu Emperor and pressed his penis for him.
After a moment of silence, Shen Ning spoke again: "These days, I have taken over all the affairs of the harem, and I feel quite touched."
The Great Chu Emperor asked casually, "I forgot to ask you these days, how are you managing the affairs of the harem? Are you adapting well?"
Shen Ning secretly complained in her heart, "You not only forgot to ask me, you have probably forgotten about me, the queen, these days!" Which emperor would not show up in the empress's palace for a few days after he was crowned queen?
She didn't show it on her face, she just smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Royal Concubine has managed the affairs of the harem very well, I am very good at it, and there is no trouble."
Now that the power to manage the six palaces is entirely in her hands, how could she bear to give it to others?
"There is just one matter that involves Concubine De. After much thought, I feel that I should report it to Your Majesty." After talking for a long time, she was finally able to get to the point.
Shen Ning clearly felt that when the De Fei was mentioned, the Great Chu Emperor froze for a moment, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, do you still remember that the Imperial Concubine investigated the death of Concubine De? She only said that Concubine Fang was provoked by something, so she... strangled Concubine De to death. But what exactly provoked her?"
"When I was handling this matter, I was worried, so I went to investigate carefully and found that on that day, a young maidservant beside Concubine Lin went to Puwen Hall."
Shen Ning paused for a moment, and said, "And that little maid disappeared from the palace after that day."
"During those two days, Concubine Lin went to Qingyun Palace, and the matter was put on hold and no further investigation was carried out."
"I wonder if this matter is related to Concubine Lin, and the Imperial Concubine..."
Shen Ning did not finish her words, but just stopped there. She knew that some things would be more convincing if the Emperor of Great Chu investigated them himself.
The Great Chu Emperor frowned upon hearing this: "How is the investigation going?"
Shen Ning just shook her head and said, "I found out about the Royal Concubine, but thinking that she always did things in a safe way, I didn't investigate further."
The Great Chu Emperor just nodded and said nothing more. However, after the Empress left Longsheng Palace, the Great Chu Emperor did instruct Yingyi to investigate the matter.
In his eyes, it’s not about trust or not, it’s just about getting things clear.
But if you really trust her, why don't you just ask Song Qingyan directly?
In the end, it was the emperor's suspicion.
After returning to Jinxiu Palace, Shen Ning originally planned to take a short rest and prepare for tonight's palace banquet in the best possible manner.
However, she did not expect that before dinner, the queen would have rashes all over her body and face, and her body was also extremely hot.
"What's wrong with your majesty?" Yunzhu asked in panic.
"Of course it's a rash," Yunlan looked at Yunzhu with disdain, "Your Majesty, I'll go get the imperial physician later."
"Wait," the queen shouted, "You are not allowed to go!"
Shen Ning had his own guesses. Looking at himself, he looked very much like Lu Xingwan when he was poisoned. He was afraid that someone had tampered with him.
"Did anyone come in this afternoon?" Shen Ning stared at Yun Lan.
Yunlan was extremely frightened when she saw this, and she just shook her head: "No...no, I have been guarding the front yard all afternoon, and no one came in."
"Forget it." It was more important to detoxify first so as not to delay the evening's palace banquet. "Yunzhu, go to the second cabinet in the inner room and find me the antidote."
